Здраво or zdravo = hello
We have officially checked out of Hungary and Schengen and are now in Apatin Serbia. We’ll probably be here for one or two nights and then keep moving along. Last night was our final night and we spent it in Mohacs, Hungary.
This email returns us to Komarno, […]

Bratislava 2
Wiking Yacht Club, Budapest
Jó estét
It is just about 10 PM and after several long days of touring around Budapest, I’m tired! Mary and Rick have been here twice before so can zip around everywhere acting as great tour guides. Same in Vienna and Bratislava and pretty much everywhere we’ve been and will go. […]
Bratislava
Wiking Marina, Budapest
Jo napot kivanok.. which all means Hello according to my ancient Europe AAA guide.
It is a bright sunny morning for our second third day in Budapest. We arrived early afternoon and went off walking for hours… Yesterday Randal and I did “Jewish Budapest” and today it’s more touring, a chandlery and grocery […]
Last Vienna email
Komarno Marina
Ahoj,
Hello in Slovak.
We spent yesterday touring Bratislava, today cruising 100 km and the largest lock of the trip to get to Komarno., Tomorrow we’ll visit the town. Instant reaction; I like Slovakia.
Last Saturday Randal and I started the day at the Flea Market at Naschmarkt. But it was rainy […]
4th of July
Vienna Marina, Austria
Guten Abend,
We have spent 3 full days touring about Vienna and I can honestly say I haven’t seen most of it. We did an “around the city wander” the first day. Day 2 Randal and I went on an organized walking tour of Leopoldstadt, the “Jewish area” of Vienna. Today he and […]
Tulln and the Nibelung Saga and Egon Schiele
Wien Marina, Vienna
Guten Morgen,
We are in what we call Vienna but is really Wien. W is pronounced as V which makes it sound sort of like Vienna. We arrived yesterday at 11:25 am and after getting tied up and official with the Harbor Master, went off to the nearby mall for lunch. Another pizza […]
Grein Day 2
On the river in Austria
Guten Tag,
We left Grein early this morning, though not as early as we’d hoped. We woke about 5 am but didn’t actually leave until 7:25. We’ve done three locks and are still going now at 4 pm.
Leaving a fog shrouded Grein behind.
Grein was charming, just big enough to explore […]
Grein
Bootsverein Turul, Grein
Guten Morgen,
The rain started yesterday afternoon and continued on and off for the rest of the day. Rain today too so we’ll stay put. Rain didn’t stop us on the ocean, but locking in the rain and docking in the rain are more difficult than cruising along or anchoring off an island. […]
Passau, The Danube, and Leaving Germany: Entering Austria
Linz
Guten Abend
We arrived today just past noon. By 1 pm we were walking into town looking for a shop to buy sim cards for our internet dongles. A nice young man whom we stopped to ask directions told us exactly where to go. That checked off our list there was time for a cold […]
We’re off
7:49 am
Danube River on the way to Passau
To paraphrase …”DoraMac has left the dock!!”
Email might be iffy after this as it’s the final day of our dongle sim card. We’ll have to depend on what we can find along the way.
Passau is our final stop in Germany and then we’ll enter Austria.
